<B>1926-D $20 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The 1926-D is another heavily melted issue in the Saint-Gaudens series. While the mintage was relatively low with 481,000 pieces produced, very few survived the meltings of the mid-1930s. The few that did had been shipped to Europe and today that is the source of the coins that have come onto the market over the past 50 years. Condition plays an important role with this issue also with the majority of survivors in the MS62-63 grade range; above that the 1926-D is very rare. This is a well, but not fully struck example that has exceptionally pronounced mint luster for a coin in this grade. Obviously original, there are numerous small alloy spots scattered over each side. Small to medium-sized abrasions are seen over the obverse, which account for the grade. Population: 47 in 62, 67 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
